DANG! I wish I knew about this 3 months ago when I was doing my major driveline surgeory! I only drilled out the ones I could get to..... ugh. But so far my car has been OK in terms of the lazy clutch pedal at high rpms. My slave did die and my clutch sunk to the floor though....

Im getting ready to do a clutch on my car and s you know its a pain to do. I only want to remove the hole rear end torque tube and tranny once so I wanted as much info about this so I called around and they all say if you use the zo6 parts there is no drill mod. Lapd says everything they install clutches in gets the z06 parts. And no drill mod is performed.?????

I have my stock '01 master w/ a new oem slave and a LUK stage-II. The best mod I ever made w/ my clutch was remove the return spring under the pedal. It's never come close to sticking since (not sure if the problems are related). I've never had high rpm hard shifting problems... never drilled anything out either.

Removing that spring will help. It's not a return spring though.
It is an assist spring, It helps pull the pedal toward the floor
I removed mine.
I have an '02 Z06 Slave in mine and it had the restriction. The lines are '00 so they had them also.
I drilled everything I could get to easily, and I have no problems. I'm not running the stock clutch though.

I sent out an informative email w/pic tutorial to all those of you requesting such info. Should answer all questions raised here in this post. If someone could inform me how to post pics in a thread here I could do that, too.

You will need to host your pictures on a site like Photobucket.com
Just register and add any picture you like to your folder. Under each picture that you save there will be three options to select. click on IMG http until it is highlighted, copy it and then paste it into your post
If I can do it ANYONE can

Took Brand new z06 GM slave cyl Part #89059282 apart And YES It does still have the restrictors in the 90 deg tube! So disreguard what I posted about using the new 2001-2004 zo6 parts. Makes me wonder about These shops Ive been talking too. Sorry for the bad info.
